Police are reviewing CCTV and social media footage to identify participants, including possible clues from school uniforms and bike registrations to pursue prosecutions.

A group of up to 40 riders, mostly teenagers on high-powered e-bikes and motorcycles, illegally rode across the Sydney Harbour Bridge in a social media–organized meet-up, performing dangerous riding and wheelies along the main deck before peak hour.

Riders were seen on the main deck without proper safety gear in some cases; the activity violates NSW law requiring a separate cycleway and is considered illegal.

Shadow Transport Minister Natalie Ward pressed for urgent e-bike reforms, advocating compulsory license plates, enforcement, and accountability to prevent copycat hooning.

The incident fits into broader NSW debates over e-bike safety and regulation, with governments considering reforms and the opposition pushing for additional measures such as number plates and liability schemes.

The ride was linked to Sur Ronster, a popular online creator whose followers joined the Harbour Bridge gathering, illustrating the influence of social media on such events.

Police say the stunt could have resulted in multiple deaths, highlighting the danger of the hoon-style ride under traffic.

Police were alerted around 4:30 pm, located the group on the Harbour Bridge, and dispersed them after a stern warning, with officers ultimately speaking to participants at Mrs Macquarie’s Chair about 5:30 pm.

There were no injuries or property damage reported, and no arrests or charges were laid at the scene.

Riding on the Harbour Bridge is illegal for bicycles and carries a fine, with calls from authorities to restrict e-bike use on public roads.

Premier Chris Minns urged policy action to manage the growing number of e-bikes, criticizing current wattage rules as inadequate.

Investigations are ongoing, with no injuries or property damage reported and no arrests made.
